To password protect a directory:
STEP 1: Please select the Password Protect Directories icon from your CPanel main page. A list of the directories on your account will appear.
STEP 2: Select the directory you wish to limit access to. In the new page, please create a usernameand a password for your user. Select a name that will appear in the login screen and click on the Savebutton to activate the protection.
Note: You have to create a directory before you enable the password protection for it. Also, using one and the same directory for the purpose of password protection and FTP storage in the same time is not recommended.
